Phantom Assassin is a strong Dota 2 hero because of her incredible critical strike damage from her ultimate ability: Coup de Grace. Her ability to reach squishy back-line support heroes and decimate them before they can even respond or counter makes her incredibly scary to deal against. Her laning is challenging but she can farm comfortably using Phantom Strike and while staying hidden, even against Observer Wards, by using her passive ability Blur. While she doesn't have a lot of life, her Blur provides evasion against physical attacks and her Stifling Daggers allow her to comfortably harass enemies from afar until she is ready to jump in. From one of the greatest players, Yatoro, to heralds, this Phantom Assassin guide serves as a baseline to better understand how to build PA and how to play the hero too.

Buy the aracana it increases your RNG

[@TorteDeLini]

Shit that's what I forgot to do 😤

[@ShortsDota2]

Playing PA feels like a flow chart
Are you feeling lucky -> Yes -> One shot that poor support
Are you feeling lucky -> No -> Well, you are fucked

[@TorteDeLini]

Build Khanda for extra RNG!

[@noobwithattitude]

As somebody who recently started playing DotA, and still learning mechanics and item builds, this video made my day. Love Phantom Assassin

Was gonna do Hoodwink but I'm going to wait for Mage slayer netf

@@TorteDeLini WHAT! Mage Slayer is getting nerfed? HERESY!

[@TorteDeLini]

@@heynavs Haha, more like Hero SLAYER AMIRITE?

[@ryotanada]

You nailed the part where I should prioritize openings over heroes I really need to kill. Maybe I had a vendetta against the pesky support or the offlaner who got away many times, so I mainly buy stuff for them and them alone and will charge at the next person in my view hoping I'd do the job quickly and leave. That, and my desperate attempts at farming leaving me a corpse 10 times over. Rage can be a good fuel for victory, but not a good one.

[@carmen3668]

Love your channel dude, thanks for the tips

[@TorteDeLini]

Thanks man!

[@victorreitstatter1705]

Honestly, I would not recommend 3 points in Dagger unless you are ahead and/or can kill enemies and also know that they can't just go AFK jungle.
Otherwise, 3 points in Dagger will just slow you down.
And a second point in Blink can help a lot more with farming medium or small camps when the lane is pushed, while also allowing you to take better engagements.
Against Timber, for example, I never put a second level in Dagger because it will be super useless in the jungle.
Even if you rotate to an empty top lane, you won't need a second point in Dagger since you just want to farm until the second item.
Also, buy Boots of Speed last if possible because you already have a slow, and your support should also have a slow, stun, or root.

[@victorreitstatter1705]

I am Ancient 3 so I would like to hear your thoughts on my take.

[@TorteDeLini]

You are right that you can skip the third point in Dagger if it's pointless in the lane!

[@lmaobro4912]

hey torte, Great guides as always, both in-game amd youtube. I have recently picked up tusk. And it has made me fall in love with dota all over again. Having said that, im just a 2k noob and your tips on how to play tusk would be really great. I dont see many recent tusk guides , i mostly see pro replays but i dont think i understand the game enough to figure out the rationale of what goes inside the mind of a pro player. so please make a tusk guide Thankyou in advance 😊

[@TorteDeLini]

You got it!! Definitely gonna get through Tusk and all heroes out there right now

[@krishnanandprabhu7748]

Im returning to dota after a long time ans your guides are super helpful!

[@TorteDeLini]

Thank you and I appreciate you subscribing!

[@AndreasKurz]

Already at picking phase make a priority list who you can kill. Otherwise the will be a very dead assassin. 😂

[@TorteDeLini]

Also consider if it's a good game to even pick PA 😂

[@petrjakub6374]

*New Subscriber here!*
Can you do *Pudge* next? I just love this hero even when lossing i still have a good time playing *Pudge.* 😅
And besides he's the most picked hero in Dota so i guess you'll get more views.

[@TorteDeLini]

I definitely wanted to do Pudge but wanted to wait until the new patch to see if he would change first!
Thanks for subscribing!

why no wraith band at the beginning?

You can get Wraith Band if you need it. You might just need to practice dagger + lasthit combo
